Pros: Excellent Location and lovely pond. Cons: Polyester sheets, cheap scratched non-stick cooking pans, lobster pot didn't fit under the cooker hood, pantry door fell off when opened, not enough knives, forks and spoons for 10 people. Children went exploring and found an abandoned sauna project with rotten floor treads outside that they fell through. Pedalo and canoe were not easy to bring in and out. Rotted metal firepit in the path to the dock. Abandoned Tiki Bar project had many nails sticking out. Expected better quality for $1250 a night.

We rented this house with another family and it was perfect. The kitchen is large and spacious. Enough room at the table for 8 people plus some counter seating. Lots of dishes, pots and pans. Everything was neat and clean. Lake was warm to swim in and the canoes were a hit. Unfortunately the hot tub hadn't been working and we had looked forward to that. My only other note would be to understand that the 4 room with 2 twins and 2 queen beds is actually in a loft area over the living room. There are shades to block the light but not the noise. This made it a bit harder to have the younger kids go to sleep earlier than the rest of the family. Overall would recommend this house.

A large house on a pond with ample living spaces and a very well equipped kitchen; a well-equipped kitchen was a pleasant surprise for a rental. With a long deck and a nice dock it was always nice to return to the house at the end of a day at the beaches... A fire pit for 'smores was a special feature used almost every night by the adults and the kids. Hostess was very responsive to all of our needs. Some of the pictures do not reflect the need for some deferred maintenance, but we would return without a second thought.

We had a Golf Trip and stayed at Sheila’s house. It is quite larger than it looks in the photos! There was plenty of room and we loved the lake. Sheila had the best recommendations for everything close by. We will definitely be back!

We were so pleasantly surprised with how well this house worked out for us! The house was spacious and lovely and the view of the pond is gorgeous! There is lots to do in the area - a quick drive to awesome beaches, Newport and the ferry to Block Island - and although we did all those things, we would have been happy to just stay at this relaxing location! The owners are attentive, responsive and super nice. We will be back next year for sure!

Our two sons and their families joined us at this property for a wonderful get together. It was the perfect spot. Private, great house ideal for a large family, wonderful clean pond for swimming and fishing and so much more. We were close to lots of great beaches and sites, but spent most of our time on the property. It was a special stay and we highly recommend it.

Our family had a fantastic week in an idyllic location. Could see the Milky Way sitting on the dock at night, cool lake breeze even on very hot days, and very active hummingbirds at the feeders on the wide deck. Used one of the fire pits one night and enjoyed grilled steaks and chicken. Opened the sliding doors using the hot tub in the afternoon and watched the sunset over the lake. Both the small pond in front and the lake had fish in them so several of our party enjoyed that too. The peddle boat was fun for couples and kids! Probably only glitches were that we happened to be there during an extremely hot week and had a little trouble with the refrigerator the first couple of days...and a little warm upstairs for those sleeping up there, but other than that, really felt like you were far away from crowds and close to nature. The owner was very responsive and checked in on us too. Nice having the beds made and linens, paper products and spices already in the house too! Close to beaches, not too far from some great restaurants, nearby hiking trails. Everyone left happy and we would definitely rent this property again.

This is a unique find in terms of location, privacy, and various activities for a family vacation. The lake is private and clean for swimming. The house is spacious and well decorated and stocked. Beaches are a short distance away. Would definitely return.

This was the 4th home we have rented in that area on a lake. House was spacious an well equipped. The fresh water lake with a dock was the nicest we’ve ever had, came with canoes an a peddle boat. First time we went to RI and never went to the beach, that’s how much we enjoyed the lake. The VRBO pictures did not do the property justice. The spacious eat in kitchen and living room were great as were the numerous outdoor seating areas with fire pits. The owner and our contact, Sheila, was always available an helpful when we spoke with her. I highly recommend this home an am looking forward to returning.

We had a wonderful week in this lovely home. The views over the pond and the fun on the pond were enjoyed by the teens and adults. The hot tub and fire pits filled the evenings with many fond memories!

Perfect venue for family reunion! All ages had the best time. Great water views from comfy lounge chairs on the lawn and very large deck. Wonderful family dinners in the expansive, well equipped kitchen. Boating, swimming, and fishing by day and s’mores, guitars and singing by the fire pit made for special memories. Sheila and Bill were so helpful and offered great advice about the area where we all hope to return.

This home is on a pond and the ocean is 10-15 minutes away. I prefer fresh water and my children the ocean. So we were all able to do what we loved the most. The house was very comfortable inside and outside. Chaise lounges were wonderful and there were plenty of places inside to do what you liked. I like to work out and there was an entire room with fitness equipment for everyone. A great room plus a huge hot tub. We had a wonderful week there

Our stay was awesome. We felt so welcome and the house and property was a real treat. The house is perfect for family reunion or just relaxing with more than family because the house is so spacious. We could have left all the kitchen extras at home because the kitchen was utterly stacked with everything and beyond. From waffle maker to blender and kitchenaid mixer to every pot and pan under the sun. No need for extras. Dishes galore and glasses in every shape and form. We made mudslides daily! The house was clean and had literally everything you can imagine. All we really needed were our clothes and a relaxing spirit. The property was well maintained and the dock and lake were super! Nature was right before us and we enjoyed the birds, chipmonks and the beautiful grounds with flowers and foliage. The master bedroom had the most comfortable mattress. Sheila made us feel welcome and engaged us by telling us the best places to go to and enjoy! Whenever I had a question she responded quickly and with joy. We fell in love with Rhode Island because of our stay.

Our family loved staying on the Pond!! We had the best of all worlds. We visited different beaches that were all with a 15-20 minute drive. My grandkids loved swimming, fishing & using the paddle boat & canoes in the pond, then took a quick dip in the hot tub! They were even able to ride their bikes & scooters on the private road. The house was nicely decorated with a lot of extras. Thank you Sheila for sharing your great hone!!

Phenomenal house on a beautiful private pond in RI! Super comfortable house with amazing spaces and views of the pond indoors and out; best spots are massive kitchen and wonderful great room with double-height ceilings. The pond is quiet overall and is great for paddling, swimming and fishing! Sheila and Charlie are wonderful owners and hosts who don't intrude at all, but are able to answer any questions very quickly - can't wait to be back and would happily bring a bigger group of friends and family!
